Pujiang, or also known as 'Italian Town', is part of a larger development plan for Shanghai area, called "One City, Nine Towns".

So far, the visit to Pujiang was the most bizarre experience I have had during my long trip. My feelings alternated between a genuine curiosity and a creepy unease as I was walking through the deserted, yet quite well maintained, streets. I have not met a single person during my visit (which lasted a couple of hours), and I kept wondering what actually happened here.

I couldn't help myself from thinking that the ghost of Giuseppe Terragni (an Italian architect who worked during the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini) is lurking behind every corner...

Somehow, new housing developments around the area are still underway...
